The time has come that Mason has started preschool and to at least look like I know what I’m doing in this motherhood gig I thought I should probably do that thing that most reliable mums do and send him to preschool with a lunchbox filled with all the goodies that show everyone just how much I love my son.

To be honest I’m not usually a baker because I’m not the hugest fan of sweet treats in the house (because then I eat them) until I was introduced to WHOLE EARTH Sweetener Co. Baking Blend (500g) – a blend of raw cane sugar and stevia. This product bakes and browns just like sugar with 50% less calories than traditional sugar, ½ a cup of the Baking Blend sweetens like 1 cup of sugar. This was a winner for me, especially because it meant less sugar and all natural ingredients!

This recipe is no fuss you simply mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and then add all of the wet ingredients to a blender, mix them all together and bang them in the oven.

Pour wet ingredients to dry mixture and stir to combine (making sure there are no lumps)!

Fill the muffin tin about 1/4 the way full and add a couple of berries to each muffin tin

Bake in the oven for 15 -17 mins until you can put a fork in the centre and it comes out clean

Take out and let sit on cooling rack for 10 mins, then enjoy 🙂

WHOLE EARTH Sweetener Co. have a whole range of products that can make your life easier
There are four products in the Whole Earth range. Two of these are blends of raw cane sugar and stevia, with 50% less calories than sugar.

Beginning of 2018 I made a decision to hold myself accountable and start prioritizing myself. What I mean by that is, simply having my own personal goals outside of motherhood and to work hard to achieve them. I adore being a mother and it is truly my passion, when I became a Mum I found a sense of peace in the fact that I had finally found my “calling” or what I had always wanted to do in life. However running around after a toddler, managing a household, working, staying social, all of those external factors can see you stretched in so many directions as a mother and you can find yourself having nothing left to give. I have definitely come to realise over the past year that if I don’t really look after myself and put a huge emphasis on MYSELF and MY needs then how do I really show up be present and give myself to those I love the most?
